L'ho accompagnata fino al Camposanto
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG
L'ho accompagnata fino al Camposanto, Dove la terra fu per lei rimossa, E là mi sono stemperato in pianto Vicino alla sua fossa. Poscia ho piantato della croce al piede Due fiorellini d'opposto colore: Uno era scuro, ed è per chi lo vede Simbol del mio dolore. L'altro era bianco siccome la Fede, E gliel' ho posto proprio sul core, E gliel'ho posto; ed è per chi lo crede Simbol del suo candore.

Je l'ai suivie
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
Je l'ai suivie; Et j'ai vu la terre, Prendre ma vie, Et couvrir la bière!.. Alors j'ai pleuré ta beauté divine, Ma femme, ô ma Blondine! Et puis triste emblême, J'ai planté moi-même Pour ta mémoire, Deux fleurs, blanches et noire L'une, plus sombre, Dira mes pleurs sans nombre! Noire, symbole sombre! L'autre dira dans sa blanche parure Ton coeur candide et ta foi pure! Elle est, ô chère femme, Blanche comme ton âme!
